Mixtape: King Louie – Motion Picture

Lou’s Motion Picture project serves as a precursor to what’s now become his debut album, Dope & Shrimp. This is a nice little collection of loose features, freestyles and new tracks to warm you up for the main event which will drop this summer.

You may remember I previewed Dope & Shrimp all of the way back in September of 2011, and Louie’s come a long way since then. The good news is that a few of the songs slated for D&S appear here (“Loud Pack,” “Go In,” “Elevation”). There’s also a handful of tracks I’ve never heard, including the serious C-Sick-produced slapper “Bars.” Motion Picture is a solid introduction to Louie if you’re just getting familiar with him for the first time. It’s a real drill.

Chief Keef, Rockie Fresh, Lil Durk and Rello all make appearances, while Young Chop, C-Sick, Lokey, DGainz and J-Hill handle production duties. Check out the blockbuster below the cut.
